I Don't Dance · 08-01-2009, 07:50 PM

I thought they postponed for Misha's hospitalization. But I might be off base.

Mischa’s Co-Star Says She’s Back to Work & Doing Great

Mischa Barton’s co-star in her new TV show, The Beautiful Life, tells OK! that she was back to work yesterday after her recent breakdown.
Nico Tortorella, who plays a model named Kai on the new CW show, revealed at the launch party for the Blackberry Tour for Sprint that the Homecoming actress was at Wednesday’s table-read for the first episode and was “doing great” and “ready to work.”

He added that he and the cast were ready to help Mischa get back into normal life after the meltdown which saw her hospitalized and held by the authorities for her own safety.

“A bunch of [stuff] has gone down — you can’t really help it,” he told OK! at the party at NYC’s Thompson hotel on the Lower East Side.

“Everybody wants to see her get better and I think she will.”

The actor, who first met Mischa three month ago when they shot the pilot, said that he and the rest of the cast were ready to support her though this tough time.

“I’m here for her; I think we all are,” he said. “She has good people fostering good situations.”

Mischa Barton's Costars Say She's Ready to Work

After being placed under involuntarily psychiatric hold earlier this month, Mischa Barton is back at work and doing "great," her costars on The Beautiful Life tell PEOPLE.

"We had our first read-through [Wednesday] and we're all so very excited to have her back. She's such a great girl," costar Sara Paxton said at Model Home Project's pre-launch celebration for The Power of WE at The Gates in New York on Wednesday.

"We really didn't talk about everything that's been going on. It was really all work," Paxton adds.

Costar Ben Hollingsworth admits the cast was just as much in the dark about the specific reason behind Barton's hospitalization as anyone else. "We were all worried about her. We didn't really know what was going on, but she's looking great. She's feeling great and it's just good to have her back," he says. "We start shooting again on Friday and she's ready to work. We're all ready to jump into it and are very excited – even Mischa."

Hollingsworth believes Barton's new role may help her cope with all that's been going on in her life.

"She's gone through it more than anyone in the cast and her character in the show is very intertwined into that lifestyle. I think she's going to be able to draw on a lot of real-life experiences that she's had to go through with paparazzi, rumors, and invasion of privacy and all that comes in the public eye," he says.

Mischa excited about fashion drama

Apr 22, 2009
Mischa Barton has promised her new TV show is going to be "like The OC times 10".
The 23-year-old actress is to star in a fashion drama - rumoured to be titled A Beautiful Life - on The CW channel.
Mischa said: "It's like Entourage for the fashion world and I think there's a real market for that these days -it's like taking what's really fun and guilty about The OC and it's like that times 10, because the fashion on The OC was definitely great but this would be like couture."
She continued: "And there's something so fascinating about the world of couture that hasn't been explored properly and I think it could be really exciting.
"I hope this show will take off and I think if it does it will be a huge hit.
"I don't want to be presumptuous, but I mean we just got so lucky - Zac Posen has a fashion show in the first episode and plays himself as a designer.
"My character's in a Versace dress and me and the other girls styled ourselves and we're all wearing incredible McQueen shoes and great bags.
"Elle McPherson plays the modelling agent, ex-model, in it. It's just really exciting so maybe it will be a good fit."
Mischa has always loved fashion and styled herself in teen drama The OC. She has just launched the third season of her own handbag collection which she designed herself. It can be seen at Mischa Barton - Handbag Shop Online.
